SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara baseball team will play its first home series of the season this weekend, taking on Albany in a four-game stanza beginning on Friday at 4 p.m. at Stephen Schott Staduim.

Friday's tilt was originally scheduled to start at 6 p.m., but due to weather concerns has been moved up to 4 p.m. Saturday's doubleheader will begin at 1 p.m. and Sunday's single game finale will also start at 1 p.m. All game times are subject to change with the rainy weather forecasted this weekend in the South Bay so stay tuned to SantaClaraBroncos.com, @SCUBroncos on Twitter, or @Santa Clara University Bronco Athletics on Facebook for the most up-to-date information about the games.

The Broncos are 0-3 after going winless against defending-national champion South Carolina last weekend in Columbia, S.C..
